PATSY CLINE: Mid 20s to late 30. The legendary country singer who died while still very young in a plane crash in the early 1960’s. Because the show is based on a true story and Patsy is an iconic figure in Country Music who had a most distinct and recognizable sound, role requires an excellent singer/actress who can look and sound as much like her as possible. Recreating her glottal, trill and yodel-like delivery of her many hits including Crazy, Sweet Dreams, I Fall to Pieces and others is essential to the successful portrayal of this role. Patsy was a warm, funny, vulnerable AND tough lady and the actress cast must be able to play those. Seeking excellent singer/actress with ability to mimic Patsy Cline’s vocal stylings and country accent. Starring role.
LOUISE SEGER: 45-60. A Texas housewife and fan of Patsy Cline. Through a chance meeting, she becomes friends with her “favorite star” and the relationship continues until Patsy’s death. Louise is a tough, no-nonsense Texas gal who idolizes Patsy. Her delivery ranges from folksy to razor sharp and all in the idiom of a 1950’s Southern woman who is equally at home in the kitchen and out “honky-tonkin’!” This character is the driving force of the play as she performs numerous monologues and narrations between the live musical numbers performed by Patsy and the on-stage band. Excellent actress with great comic timing, good Texas dialect and ability to sing some duets with Patsy. Starring role.
